The Matthias Utinger Marble Tree is an enchanting eco friendly educational wonder.
Six marbles make deeper and deeper notes as they plink plonk down the tuned wooden leaves of the tree, before plopping into the base.
The Wooden Marble Tree is a longtime favourite of the Waldorf and Montessori school systems and was inspired by their principles of constructive play.
It is ethically made, environmentally sound, and nontoxic.
Matthias Utinger is an award winning Swiss designer of educational toys. His glorious invention was nearly lost to us when the original manufacturer went into bankruptcy in 2006. It is now produced by a family company specializing in quality wooden toys.
